Cox is preparing fall on-screen TV menus

WEST WARWICK – Cox Communications Inc., Rhode Island’s dominant cable company, plans to introduce new versions of its interactive on-screen content guides later this year, according to Cable Digital News.
Steve Necessary, Cox’s vice president of video product development and support, told a recent industry gathering that the new system will use rotating “cards” to display and organize information. The system also will have an integrated search capability and will be optimized for high-definition television sets, he said.
The new interactive program guide is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter. &#8226
